Q. What type of symptoms are there if after a couple days the mother car has if there is a kitten still in the womb???

A. You will see signs of stress, probably a fever and diarrhea. She may not pay any attention to the kittens she has. Remember that it takes time for the abdomen to return to a normal size after a delivery, so if a large abdomen is making you think she still has a kitten inside, she probably doesn't. If she is showing any sign of distress, though, bring her to the vet right away.
